Lyrics

I’m (Cm)hold ing on your rope, got me (Abmaj13)ten feet off the ground.

I’m (Cm)hear ing what you’re say ing, but I (Abmaj13)just can’t make the sound.

You (Cm)tell me that you need me, (Abmaj13)then you go and cut me down.

But wait,

you (Cm)tell me that you’re sor ry, (Abmaj13)did n’t think I’d turn a round

and say hey,

and that it’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.

I (G7)said it’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.

I (CN.C.)take an oth er chance, take a fall, take a shot for you.

I (Abmaj13)need you like a heart needs a (F)beat, but that’s noth ing new.

I (Cm9)loved you with that (Ab)fire

(Abmaj13)red;

now it’s turn ing (Eb)blue,

and you say,

(E7#5)“Sor ry,” like the (Dm11)an (Ab13)gel (Dbmaj13)heav en let me think was you.

But I’m a fraid

it’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.

I (G7)said it’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.

(It’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.)

(It’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.)

(It’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.)

(It’s (Cm7)too late to ’pol o gize,

it’s (Eb)too late.)

I’m (Csus2)hold ing on your (C5)rope, got me (Ab)ten feet (Absus2)off the ground.
